Do you need some JOY in your life?

Joy is a very sweet 1 year old, who is waiting for her forever family. She's as playful as she is cute!

Like most cats her age, Joy stays very busy. She enjoys playing with toys, investigating objects around the house, and exploring new spaces. But when it's time to relax, she will melt in your arms and on your lap, a perfect little cuddle buddy.

She's currently living with dogs at her foster home, but she'd much rather spend the rest of her life with people and cats. We're looking for a family who has experience with young cats and can give joy a lifetime of love ❤️

Meet Finn!

Are you looking for a cat who adores people? (Yes...he will actually hug you.) If so, Finn is your boy!

Finn was living outdoors on his own when he was rescued. He was thin, hungry, and initially wary, but he quickly became one of the most loving cats we've known.

This handsome 2/3 year old cat who's part Scottish Fold is living comfortably with a foster. He will thrive as an "only pet" because he'd rather not share "his person(s)" with dogs and other adult cats. (He does love kittens, though, so if you foster kittens who don't have a mom, Finn will fill in as an amazingly nurturing "dad.")

What a Joy!

And what a beauty! This little 1 year old kitten (and she IS petite) has a gorgeous coat of brown, black, orange and white and the distinctive Tabby M on her forehead.

Like most cats her age, Joy stays very busy. She enjoys playing with toys, investigating objects around the house, and exploring new spaces. But when it's time to relax, she will melt in your arms and on your lap, a perfect little cuddle buddy.

She's currently living with dogs at her foster home, but she'd much rather spend the rest of her life with people and cats. We're looking for a family who has experience with young cats and can give joy a lifetime of love.

Meet lovable and loving Leah!

At 1 1/2 years old and 15 pounds, this spunky and highly energetic Chihuahua mix is curious about everything and always ready for an adventure.

She would love to have a canine companion in her forever home and is a perfect fit for an active family that already has at least one dog. (Her current playmate is our 60 pound Great Pyrenees mix, who tolerates her antics.)

Fall in love with Denver!

Denver is a very handsome 2 year old Great Pyrenees/Foxhound mix. A bundle of energy, he's always ready to play and loves to race around the yard carrying anything he can grab in his mouth.

We know he does well with other dogs and older children. We aren't certain about cats or young children.

Denver currently lives in a small private "room" at our West Bradenton facility and is "housebroken." However, since he has never actually lived in a house, he may need a brief adjustment period to all the "comforts of home." He's more than ready for those as well as for his very own forever family.

We're Abby (the tabby) and Ariel! We don't look alike, but we really are sisters. (And if we do say so ourselves, we're adorable!) We managed to survive outside after our mom and siblings disappeared, so we'd like to stay together for the rest of our lives. At only 5 months old, we spend much of the day playing and exploring, although we do work in a "kitten nap" here and there. Entertaining our foster mom is our favorite pastime. We keep her laughing and on her toes. We're typical kittens! We're hoping to find our "furever" home very soon. An adoption application is available on the Hooves, Paws and Claws website at www.hpcanimalrescue.org/adopt
